the beetle bugs are zooming and the tulip trees are blooming
I called in sick to work today. When I woke up, my throat was very sore and the pain continued into my ear. I hoped that it would resolve itself after taking a shower, but no luck. So I called in. With the recent anxiety at work and the meeting I had to prepare for tonight, the threat of not feeling well was all that was needed for me to decide.
So, I watched tv, played some LOTRO, did some writing, made a big lunch (steak, mixed vegetables, chicken flavored rice), and tried to take it easy. Then tonight I went to my Knights of Columbus meeting. I rather dreaded going to the meeting. Not because there was going to be anything unpleasant or what have you. But because when I have a free day, I don’t want to worry about evening committments. Once it was all said and done, it was fine. But it does make me think I should say “no” more often.
Half day at work tomorrow, with the morning dominated by a campus-wide Planning and Budget meeting. Yeah. That will be fun.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end
Ok, I’m moved to this new site now. It’s not ‘done’, but it’s far enough along that I shall delay no further.
I’m having a tough time at work this week. Not as tough as many others; I’m not slated to lose my job. I feel bad for those who are staring down the barrel of unemployment, particularly my friends. But that’s not what’s getting to me. At least I think it not what’s getting to me….
No, I’m experiencing what I think are panic or anxiety attacks. It’s all the fracking commotion around me and the fact that there are numerous times throughout the week that I can hear (and not shut out) no fewer than 4 or 5 gorram conversations happening at once. And Lordy! the way people yell and shout at each other. It’s maddening! (Did I spell that right??)
I’m think I’m going to see about getting a prescription for some anxiety medication. But I won’t be doing that soon. Got lots of other stuff to spend money on over the next few months.
Modesto AmBadAssadors, suit up!
Saw Unknown tonight. Liked it a lot! Liam Neeson brings the bad ass and both ladies in the film are easy on the eyes. This was my first movie, post-oscars, and it was supposed to be the inaugural regularly scheduled Modesto AmBadAssadors meetup. But I went by myself. Boo! Ah well. Next week – Adjustment Bureau.
Score = A- (just a couple of minor plot questions I had, nothing big.)
I’m transfering my blog to a new address: www.seaners4real.net. For a couple of days, this site might be mirrored over there, just until I get it all set up. But it will be moving very soon.
